Where are locale files located? And how to reconfigure them?

I want to modify a locale file for some reasons. I know there are some on /usr/share/i18n/locales/, but nothing changed after I modified the file. My Jolla UI is in English, so the locale should be en_GB. I also tried dpkg-reconfigure locales, but still no change.

So my question is:

  1. Does Saifish OS have other locale files for date and number format?
  2. How I can reconfigure locales? Does dpkg-reconfigure really work?

Edit: According to (this mailing list)[https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2013-January/428342.html] “dpkg” stands for debian package and has no equivalent on rpm-based OS’s. So it seems impossible to modify an installed locale unless via update.
